Welcome, I'm Chris (aka Moose). I'm here to help 365 days a year, but not every hour of the day. I try to prevent delays as much as possible. Please understand I am not there and can only advise based on what you tell me. Let's get started.

Is this with the engine running?

Do you own a volt meter?

engine running, do not own volt meter but took to auto zone and battery was. Of getting enough chargeI would like to just type response

We would need a volt meter to perform the diagnostics to see why these lights are on. Normally the battery light is on for a charging system concern over or under voltage. The brake light can be on from the parking brake on or the switch to it sticking. It can also be low brake fluid or a bad level sensor. If you can get your hands on a volt meter we can diagnose and repair this together.

Please make sure to rate my answer prior to logging off, as this is how I get credit for helping you. If you have not yet received 5 star excellent service from me. Please follow up so you get everything from me that you expected from the deposit you have already paid, which I get nothing of till you rate me. Rating does not close the post nor prevent replying at a later date.

Thanks Moose
